I didn't buy one, but really wanted one of the old metal sand buckets for the lake house,

such temptation!

There's lots for the menfolk to enjoy too.
If you're like me when shopping with Mr. Ramblings,
that may buy you a little more looking time! :)

Hump Day Summer Reading Highlights #2

Since I seem to be on a historic kick this week,
how about a series of novels about heroine, Ashley Wilkes, a historic preservationist.
The books are based in the Historic District of Wilmington, NC,
and neighboring Wrightsville Beach.

I've read most of the Magnolia Series, mysteries written by Ellen Elizabeth Hunter.
I'm a sucker for local, North, and South Carolina coastal fiction!

The two books pictured are signed copies, from 2007 and 2009.
These and her other works can be found on Amazon.

I used to like the cluttered country look but have been downsizing my stuff and have become more like you with the uncluttered, less is more, look. Part of my reasoning is the grandbabies get into it when there's too much stuff around and I don't like to get after them for it so I've either put it away or given it away. Funny how the changing seasons of my life change my decor. thanks for sharing this. I do love the old TV at the end. I saw one made into an end table and where the tube was they used the glass and made a door so that it held the DVD player, etc. It was so cute.
